HTC Sense - replace with the Nexus 1 interface?

[Gambit]

I have been following the android threads over the last few weeks and i feel like taking the plunge and get a Desire.

However i prefer how the Nexus 1 interface looks - no horrible black bar at the bottom of the screen, is it possible to remove that black bar or replace it with the Nexus 1?

That black bar just does not look right to me.

You can simply turn off Sense UI.

You can turn off Sense UI, or use a different launcher like Launcher Pro or Helix Launcher. Tbh I far prefer the Sense look but each to his own I guess

really..!!!

so I can basically get the the Desire and just turn off the black bar bit?!

You can change the default home launcher and change it to the nexus one 2.1 launcher, sense ui widgets will not be available though.

I prefer the stock android look for the home menus but like the phone dialler etc from sense, so i use launcher pro beta which you can download from the market place, also download home switcher so you can change from one to the other without hassle, link below shows someone using launcher pro.

If you want the stock android 2 launcher you can get that from the market also but launcher pro is the best i have tried.

When XDA have got the Froyo ROM working you will be able to have the complete stock Android software on your phone, which has all the things you like

You can even do it now, but there's a bug or two that need ironing out first

How easy is it to turn off the senseUI on the Hero? I fancy trying the standard android OS but CBA with flashing etc.

Very easy, go into application manager, and disable TouchFLO. Job done.

Sadly doesn't work on the Desire and newer handsets for SenseUI
